Nîmes
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Nîmes Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,500. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my faculty supervisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. The payment will go directly to the the Nîmes Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100 • Final term tuition: $1,300 • Exam and lab fees: $100 If you're reading this, thank you.

                          Sending strength, Idris. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Ottawa.
